That sounds promising. The only thing left is waiting for the release date.

I don't fucking get it. Why people going cowshit over "A Rose For Epona" as cheesy and poppy number and comparing this new record with that song? No connection of head and toe.

"A Rose For Epona" isn't cheesy and poppy in the first place and that song has nothing to do with "Origins". It was one of those tracks that wasn't even standout from "Helevitos" and was just a plain good song. This will be the 6th time I'm seeing this horrible reference with no strings attach.

As for album, I still haven't check it out. Those streamed songs weren't impressive but seeing this review it really looks promising. Gotta check it out soon.

The intention was not to refer to "A Rose For Epona" as a cheesy, poppy song but a typical slower Eluveitie song with mostly female vocals. And just the comparison revealed the new one, "The Call Of The Mountains" as cheesy/poppy while I stand with your statement that the Helvetios track is a good, but not outstanding song.

Yeah, your review is spot on. Actually, I was looking for aphrostic analysis of "Origins" before I go and check out the new record by myself. Hell yeah, I'm Eluveitie fan and was really happy seeing this new sweet album drop in; it also intrigued me as in what they've done this time but comparing an album with one song of previous output is friggin' useless and offbeat. i'm sure "Orgins" must have his own way of talking.

Sounds like a typical Eluveitie album...I would love to see them create a pure death - folk metal album with no clean singing and a shit load of aggressive riffs and folk melodies. That would be super epic. They made a fully folkish album so they should make a fully death metal album as well...Great review

Personally, I find "Rose for Epona" just as cheesy/poppy as "The Call to the Mountains", actually even more so... When it comes to their female fronted songs I'm more a fan of "Quoth the Raven" and "Omnos". It's okay to like that song, I like my fair share of poppy stuff as well, but to say it isn't poppy is just plain denial.

Also most of Elu's songs are screamed by Chrigel, especially early work, so when Anna comes in to take over a song, well that stands out, how do you not get that? ....

You didn't get it.

It has nothing to with "A Rose For Epona" and by far margin this track hasn't any significant effect on "Origins" and "Helevitos" either. It's cheesy/poppy or isnt doesn't give a shit about any reference to get attached with this album. Yeah, I think "A Rose.." isn't cheesy at all......it's far worse than that!. Hell, it's one of the worst song stood out from "Helevitos". Then why the fuck it's getting involved with "Origins" in the first place?

Are y'all implying that this record is cheesefest and boring?

I don't think it is.

Yeah.. I'm not getting this at all...
He compared a track from the last album with a track from this album because they're similar, I really don't see why that's a big deal. Oh well.

Yet another band that I used to love and respect, that have gone downhill completely. The statement that "From Darkness" deserves extra praise illustrates this very well. If that is what is passing for a stand-out track, then there really isn't anything on the album worth listening to at all. After all, "From Darkness" has the exact same boring poppy feel to it that "Call Of The Mountains" has, it is simply slightly faster and heavier, with growls. Albums like "Slania" and "Spirit" really took me on a journey into another time and place, they were simply amazing. This album is amazingly mediocre and deserves a score of no more than 6 in my book.
